As a donut-lover who tries to eat paleo, I applaud whomever made this advertisement.

    Well, I do believe in chosing nutriënt dense foods 80% of the time, but yes, the other 20% I eat whatever I want.

    Too bad we don't have Krispy Kreme or Dunkin Donuts here :sad:.

    Never understood the Krispy Kreme hype till I lived in the south and ate a glazed hot off the line. It is a good thing the closest one to me now is hours away!

    Getting struck my lightning alone is bad for you. Not ever having a Krispy Kreme, in my estimation? Neither here nor there. They are so not worth the hype.

    Krispy Kreme run in Raleigh, NC 2/8/14.

    Run 2.5 miles to Krispy Kreme from the NCSU Bell Tower

    Eat a dozen doughnuts

    Run 2.5 miles back to the finish at the NCSU Bell Tower.

    I won't be there because I am running a marathon that day. But my friends will be!!!

    Score one for the marketing dept. on this one!
    I'm a low-carb guy, but I turn into Homer Simpson when it's time to say, "carb-up" (e.g. justify eating too many).

    Lol, I believe this is my very first post and I was saving it for something special. Like donuts.

    I dunno about that. Krispy Kreme vanilla custard filled donuts are pretty amazing. With a cappucino. Almost worth the gluten induced spasm my stomach will go into.

    I :heart: Krispy Kreme!






    But is the ad British or Canadian? Cause Americans spell "realize" with a "z" because you know.... that's how it's supposed to be spelled, you silly Brits and Canadians!

    good ad, at least they didn't try to spin it as "healthy" or something way off.. they know its a sweet treat, and IIFYM ... enjoy. Good job CC .... (Dunkin FTW!!! LOL):laugh:

    They misspelled "realize". I would expect that from Dunkin Donuts, but not Krispy Kreme!

    This is a pretty brilliant ad--does a great job of capturing the backlash against the "war on obesity"/health puritanism so many people are sick of.

    I'm going to send it to my firm's health marketing team this morning, they'll dig it. :)

    to be fair, since it is a Krispy Kreme advertisement, they are probably going to hype their product regardless of whether or not it is actually worth it.

    Because "Krispy Kremes: meh, you can take 'em or leave 'em" is probably not the marketing they are paying for.

    I know this, I have been on my way to some place unrelated to donuts and have stopped for a detour if the "HOT NOW" light was on, and i didn't regret it.

    ...That's not a misspell.. That's how UK spells it.. Both realize and realise are correct.

    Krispie Kreme sucks. To prove it, they put one up here 5-6 years ago and it probably closed a year or two after it opened.

    Oh, and the genius who put it up put it across from one of the largest gyms in the area.

    Moron.

    Has anyone actually seen that ad displayed anywhere? It's remarkably...wordy...for a print ad.

    We, UK, don't spell it like that. I thought that was the US spelling.

    You know, I've never had Krispy Kreme up north... are they really so drastically different?

    I think they must be if so many Yankees don't like Krispy Kreme. I mean, get those bad boys fresh off the line, and they literally melt in your mouth.

    Blasphemy! Nothing beats a hot Krispy Kreme :D

    I'd love it if they'd put one across the street from my gym. ;)

    I was thinking that. But I've seen long-winded ads like that in train stations. I guess the thought is it's something to look at while waiting for the train.

    So, you're telling me you from the UK don't spell it "realise"?
    Really?

    Sometimes that works. I remember Nike ads in the 90's that were wordy:

    That's pretty much the whole concept of If It Fits Your Macros. Eat nutrient-dense food until you hit your macros, then fill the rest with whatever you like.

    This is apparently a print ad, like you might find in a magazine. Not too wordy for that application.
